AERO Placement Assessment Materials
AERO placement assessments identify which AERO unit is the right starting point for each student, and determine when students are ready to jump ahead in the curriculum.
Placement Test:
The AERO Placement Test is administered one time to each student prior to beginning the curriculum. During the Placement Test, the student attempts to independently read increasingly challenging lists of decodable words. Placement Test results provide the teacher with information on which unit in the curriculum is the appropriate starting point for the student.

The student will read these words on a tablet or computer while you score privately (so the student can’t see) on a separate device.
Placement Checks
The AERO Placement Check is given to each student at the end of each level. Placement Checks are shorter versions of the Placement Test and are designed to assess the student’s current decoding skills. Placement Check results provide the teacher or tutor with the unit in the curriculum that aligns with the student’s current skills. Teachers and tutors are encouraged to move students ahead in the curriculum (by skipping units) based on their Placement Check results.
